The majority of billionaires in the world are self-made (via CNBCMakeIt)
div > div.group > p:first-child"> That's according to the Billionaire Census published Thursday by market research firm Wealth-X.Another 30.9% of billionaires made at least some of their wealth themselves, according to the report, while 13.3% inherited their wealth entirely.
The number of billionaires fell 150 from 2,754 in last year's report, and their total wealth fell from $9.2 trillion to $8.6 trillion. The draw down was due to"heightened market volatility, global trade tensions and a slowdown in economic growth," Wealth-X says.Bezos has said his own rocket-out-of-the-cannon success with Amazon would not have been possible without the technological advancements that set him up for success.
Bezos continued:"How did that happen in such a short period of time? It happened because we didn't have to do any of the heavy lifting. All of the heavy-lifting infrastructure was already in place for it. There was already a telecommunication network, which became the backbone of the internet. There was already a payment system — it was called the credit card.
